WILL MOST MARVEL FANS APPRECIATE THE ACTION IN BLACK WIDOW?
They’ll surely appreciate the action, cast and story, although it gets extended at times. Starring Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow is another action-packed superhero flick. But parents should be cautioned about the violence.

Aussie boy's thoughts
An enjoyable Marvel movie packed with loads of legendary action, fair story and the awesome superheroes. Scarlett Johansson takes the role as Black Widow, who is an epic Marvel protagonist without any superpowers. The fight sequences in the film are stylish and the movement is skilful, but the “acceptable” story can be flat at times. However, fans of Marvel action flicks will surely adore Black Widow, despite the fact that it took a while for the character to have her own film.
The film delivers a promising opening with a nicely-produced title card and credits. Although it does feel quite long and extended, it’s usually entertaining when the story approaches the explosions, gunfire and action. Even though Black Widow doesn’t have any superpowers like most other Marvel heroes, the film still keeps a similar pace for Marvel fans.
This action/adventure tale also just isn’t as great as expected. Even though the acting and effects are stunning, it isn’t a fast-moving film and is occasionally just uninteresting. Thanks to the performances, action and fairly constructed story, Black Widow is another decent cinema-worthy movie that’ll impress those who adore the epic action stories that Marvel provides.
